Dangit, if only I had grabbed a 5090 when it came out. I could have sold it and bought an island, a chopper, and a boat, and retired! Okay well the island would come from selling DDR5 RAM, which I sadly have none of either. But sell an RTX 5090 and get a McLaren F1 (and still have money left...
As someone who has to live with two nVidia Linux systems, I gotta say that while they are still way behind Intel and AMD when it comes to GPU drivers, things have gotten much better, especially in the past couple years. What will be interesting to see is when their new NOVA driver is done, cuz...
There's been a loooot of native PC ports from decomps, and also PC versions via recomps, of a lot of classic console games in the past few years. It's really been blowing up. Just scrolling through here you get a small sample of the recent releases...
Yeah that has pretty much been my experience with gaming in Linux for the past 4 years. And it works just as well for running non-Steam games through Steam with Proton.
Some games, like Doom TDA, don't even exhibit any differences whatsoever. They literally run just as good in Linux as they do...
Seriously, who the actual f*ck is this Epic?! They are completely unrecognizable from the Epic Games that made the first 3 Gears of War games, let alone true original Epic MegaGames. I would say that I won't ever spend a penny on their products ever again, but I haven't even paid them money for...
During Switch 1's generation it was already bad that a lot of 3rd-party devs decided not to pay for the full-size 32GB cartridges, and instead went with smaller-capacity cartridges, and only fit some of the game onto it. The rest of the game you have to get through a download. In some cases the...
Same. I have a PS4 Pro, and a lot of experience with the base PS4 models of various friends and family members, but my friends only have base PS5s. Wait that's not true, one friend does have a PS5 Pro. He used to have a base PS5 (maybe still does), so maybe I'll ask him how the difference has...
I have a friend who just became a dad a few months ago. He saw the WoW Classic announcement. This was basically him: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/06/16/treachery-manifest

Steam Deck:
"As soon as you start playing, you'll notice that Gears of War: E-Day is yet another high-profile AAA game that isn't playable on the Deck. This time, it's the CPU that's...
Some more E-Day shiznit I saw around:

Gears 4 and 5 were good examples of how to use Unreal Engine 4 (although Gears 5 was, and still is, buggy as all f*ck), and I bet E-Day will finally show us a good implementation of UE5.
